I would or can say not much had happened, but that is not really true.  i have quite a bit on my plate and usually I do try to blog here at least once a week with a picture or a thought.  Instead of those QaR's, I would like to be more random for this week.  This month will be my busiest month, since this is the month of Gay pride celebrations take place in many countries in honour of the Stonewall riots.  Father Day is on the 3rd Sunday of June.  High school graduates will be celebrating their milestone into their next journey.  Its also the beginning of summertime for folks to gather for outdoor sports: golf, swimming, barbecues, camping, traveling, hiking, taking photographs, carnivals and summer storms.  (that's not the good part)
My current project right now is: taking photographs of flowers and plants of garden(s) in near my surroundings.  For me, traveling is not much of a feasible thing to do, oh we know the pandemic(which I will not go into about)

There are lots of values in the past I consider as important: honesty, being oneself, loving self, and having integrity. 
Going back in the present: I do not think these values any less, but as I grow older, as I experienced and witness life in a way that allows me to be more "tolerant", rather a better word, "understanding" and "accepting" the way each of the individuals are dependent on the situation(s), the so called value of mine changed to: flexibility, patience, loving, forgiving and remain with integrity. 
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
Ayn Rand 1905 - 1982, US Russian-born novelist

Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either.

I have the longest urge or desire to write about $ woes. Since past weekend, or the past few months, there were not just money woes, there were political undertones along with $ issues. There would be some crossover with some policies and money.
*This writing is a suggestively.
Money becomes very much not an answer to all woes. Solutions becomes something that are coming from grassroots or somewhere unexpected. Money does not become end all. Some asked is the age of capitalism come to the end? Is the age of Marxism regained its momentum?
What these past few months, the world have become a reluctant global citizen(s) and becoming a conscious back to the roots folks. People feel they have to become the jones, as a result, our world could not handle rapid amount of the growth. We look inwards again. We believe that looking that way, as a result, would or might lead us to happiness? Trading with our own tribe or country would lead us to prosperity? Since there is no definition of how much money is too much, its infinite. (in both capitalist and Marxist.)
Lets look at what one owns: clothing, food and home and that are the basics. These are the necessities and that would lead to happiness and warmth and a sense of safety. If one doesn't have one or any of those, one can be very stressful. In terms of happiness, probably not too happy if one needs to seek for clothing. If need to seek for housing or food, well, still not too happy. Most will seek for clothes first, because most would not do without clothing. Then, we should seek for jobs before seeking for food and shelter. Since clothes are taken care of, one can seek for a job. Without money, one could not have a safe shelter or food. Hopefully soon, that one person can get some assistance to seek for a job from job fair. Once again, its stressful to do that. Once job is obtained, the cycle begin again....

I could not support beliefs or causes that I really am passionate (or what are the good causes) about without feeling the heat or at the end knowing that there will be consquences afterwards.  It could be because as one gets older, one realizes that there are always consequences to what you do. 

omg, I do not know we totally have freedom at all times beause we are in one time or another we are obligated into responsibilities!
